Thanks for answering (i was losing all hope :) ) I did not include it in the last one afraid it would be a too long email. Well I've installed the firefox live headers, but the page has no header information (even if it had i am not sure what i would be looking for). I've installed 1.4rc1 (thanks brion), but I had tried the previous stable version and got the same results. Mozilla and ie says nothing and safari tells me it " can't load the page because there is no data on it" The error report did not really include any error, it follows below (the "already exists" must be because I've deleted/reinstall some many times...)

I'm just installing 1.4.0 and I've run the install script and it's telling me to move the above file from /config/ to the parent directory, but all I've got in the config folder is index.php. What am I missing? Thanks all Mary-Ann www.kartlink.com

You mean an HTTP 500? Or some kind of PHP error? I really hope you mean 1.3.11 and 1.4.0. I also believe it is recomended (if you can) to upgrade to MySQL 4.1.

ncahen @ associatives.org wrote: A 500 error generally means there's some basic low-lying configuration problem. Check Apache's error logs; if you're unable to do this yourself ask the hosting company to take a look. Does this happen _only_ when the directory is world-writable? Does it not have an error if the directory is not writable? -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)
